Chapter 500, I'm Back

Dragon Eagle Star Region, Yunluo Star.

Eight months have passed since the brutal duel in which the Phoenix won a great victory.

While ensuring that the Fury Flame Regiment left the Dragon Eagle Star Region, the Alliance also stepped up the dispatch of various officials to various planets in the Dragon Eagle Star Region to take over these worlds.

Government affairs are secondary, especially the military, which must be controlled as much as possible.

Especially some key planets.

Yunluo Star is of course the top priority. This is not only the core of economic development, but also the political core of the Dragon Eagle Star Region, and the star region government is here.

But the current Dragon Eagle government is incomparable to its heyday in the past. The arrival of the Fury Flame Regiment almost treated the Dragon Eagle Star Region as a subordinate. The decision-making power of military and political affairs was controlled by the regiment in the name of wartime, and the star region government became an executive agency.

However, the executive agency is the executive agency, at least there is still work to do.

But when the Alliance came, the situation was completely different.

The Alliance is not the Fury of Flame, which only has the framework of a regiment. They have a complete governing body and can completely replace the role of the Star Region Government.

Of course, the Alliance did not actually do this, at least not completely. The decision-making layer must have been kicked out, or temporarily laid off. However, some of the middle and low-level bureaucrats in charge of execution under the Star Region Government were retained.

It is impossible to kick out all these people who do the specific work.

It is not that the Alliance does not have enough officials.

Although it will be difficult for the Alliance to manage almost two hundred more worlds and expand its ruling area so much. However, other planets can be left alone for the time being, and the planetary governments in various places will be allowed to govern themselves first. This is also the system of the Empire. When they have time in the future, they will strengthen management.

But for Yunluo Star, a key world, no matter how scarce the number of officials is, they will squeeze out some of them and manage Yunluo well.

Officials who graduated from various liberal arts colleges of the Alliance and have been fully trained in the Alliance system will not be inferior to those of the Star Region Government in terms of ability. Although the latter's personnel were all selected from the vast sea of ​​people, the Alliance's persistent investment in talent training over the years is not a waste of money, not to mention that there are a large number of outstanding talents that Gu Hang has used his gift points to cultivate, which is definitely better than before.

More importantly, as a relatively new force, the Alliance, and Gu Hang has always attached great importance to preventing the problem of institutional rigidity, a large number of talents who have taken up government positions are quite young.

This youth is not only reflected in age, but also in mentality. The unique vigorous and eager to do a big thing is lacking in the old and inertial imperial government.

However, the main reason why the Alliance did not replace all the officials is that the officials of the Alliance are outsiders after all, and they do not have a deep understanding of many local affairs. If they are completely replaced at once, there will be chaos.

But even if the staff is retained, it is impossible to retain particularly high-level officials. The decision-makers must be replaced by officials from the alliance, and they will form their own team, half of whom will be brought from the alliance, and the other half will be selected from local officials.

The executive layer is more retained, but a considerable proportion of alliance officials have joined the middle-level officials and the lower-level executive officials, mainly to learn local affairs and supervise the work of local officials.

The powerful backing for these regime changes is the fleet staying over Yunluo Star and the alliance army landing on the ground.

In fact, whether it is the local officials of Yunluo Star or the middle and lower-level officials of the original star domain government, there is basically no particular resistance to this, but they are quite actively moving closer to the alliance.

The reason is also very simple. Anyway, they are all workers, just middle and low-level officials. Their interests will be affected to a certain extent, but not so fatally. The alliance's selection and kicking of local officials actually requires them to perform well and strive not to be screened out.

The top has changed people, and if they don't move closer actively, what are they thinking?

As for the high-ranking officials whose interests will be affected and whose power will be deprived, their opposition is not very meaningful. The Alliance originally wanted them to stand aside. It is good enough that they are not physically eliminated. What else do they want to do?

Moreover, the Alliance has not completely blocked their way.

The current statement is that it is just a temporary review to assess their loyalty and ability. The Alliance also said that if they pass the review, then these high-ranking officials may have the opportunity to enter the Star Domain Government as senior officials after the integration of the Alliance and the Star Domain Government in the future.

At that time, it should be the Star Domain level in the Alliance Government.

These high-ranking officials actually have a very complicated mood.

On the one hand, they hate that their power has been taken away, and on the other hand, they are afraid of the Alliance's military force and afraid of being liquidated. And deep in their hearts, they are more eager to retain their power.

Some people with connections are already active.

There are two directions of activity: either go to the Cosmic Domain Government or go to the Alliance.

The way to the Alliance is actually quite simple. From the establishment of the Alliance to today, the communication between officials is not that frequent and close.

But isn't there Ms. Neil Laois?

She is considered to be a supporter of Gu Hang. When Gu Hang started, she helped him. Then, almost two or three years ago, he took the opportunity to represent the Fury of Flame to negotiate with the Alliance and directly "defected". In the half of the star field controlled by the Alliance, he established "another star field government government department" in the name of the head of the star field government department.

Everyone knows that the so-called second government department actually did not play any role in the territory of the Alliance. It was purely used as a signboard by the Alliance government.

But no matter what, she went there first and has a connection with the Alliance. At least she can say something.

It is a good direction for everyone to find Laois.

But this road is not easy to take. The Alliance is not very willing to help. Laois himself is not so willing to help. She also knows how to keep a low profile. Although she is very old, she still wants to make progress.

Although, uniting many old acquaintances and exerting her little influence to push these people into the alliance system as officials can indeed establish a small faction centered around her, which can help her.

But at the same time, this is also a very risky thing.

She doesn't want to be suspected of forming a clique, which is quite sensitive in the alliance system.

The alliance road is not so smooth, so the remaining one is the road of the universe government.

And this road was originally thought to be quite easy to walk.

For a long time, the connection between the star domain government and the universe government has been relatively close. In other words, the three levels of government, the star zone, the star domain, and the universe domain, do have a superior-subordinate relationship. Many officials will be transferred to each other, and there is a clear relationship of promotion and demotion.

Many senior officials serving in the Dragon Eagle Star Domain are former officials from a department of the Eastern Universe Government who come to local leadership positions. On the one hand, it is a promotion, and on the other hand, the experience of working in a certain place will be helpful in the future.

When the alliance actually removed their power in the Dragon Eagle Star Region, their first choice was, of course, to complain to the Cosmic Government. The most important thing is to think of ways and opportunities to see if they can be transferred back to the Cosmic Government, and the second is to find a way to transfer to other star regions.

But this road can only be done by people with really strong relationships.

The alliance did not prevent them from leaving, but there was a rule in the Cosmic Government that was not written in writing but became an unwritten rule: senior officials of the Dragon Eagle Star Region should stay in the Dragon Eagle Star Region, and other places should not accept or transfer them out.

Since it is an unwritten rule, it can be broken. Those who have a strong enough relationship and are not so conspicuous can indeed be transferred out.

The alliance does not care about these few small shrimps.

But the reason why it is an unwritten rule is that sometimes it is more reliable than some explicit rules that are not fully implemented.

Most people cannot leave the Dragon Eagle Cosmic Region.

Tan Jiuyi is one of them.

This star domain head - oh, now we have to add the word "former".

It's not that he doesn't have enough connections. His status in the entire star domain is actually quite high, at least not worse than those few high-ranking officials in the universe domain government. He can definitely be regarded as one of the top 15 people in the entire universe domain government.

He is not short of connections.

But he is too conspicuous.

He really can't be transferred.

He can only stay in Yunluo Star with great trepidation, stay in his own office, and do nothing.

In theory, Gu Hang has been appointed as the head of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain, but he has not arrived yet. This is actually a very common situation throughout the empire. Generally speaking, he has to stand the last shift, wait for the new head to arrive, and then hand over the work.

Even if it is a handover, this structure is usually a bit long. If the former head of state does not have other urgent appointments for a while, they may stay in their original position for several months to help the new head of state adapt to the work.

However, he doesn't need to stand this last shift now, and he probably won't need to do any handover work later.

The alliance has taken them all away.

Not only does he have nothing to do, but his personal freedom is also restricted to a certain extent.

He can only quietly wait for his end.

And soon, the person who pronounced his end finally came back.

He received the notice and went to the star port of Yunluo Star several days in advance.

To be honest, he was quite excited.

Is he willing to lose everything?

Of course not.

And after all other methods have failed, his only solution is Gu Hang.

It would be best if there was an opportunity for private communication, so that he could slide and kneel in front of Marshal Gu in a graceful posture for people to see.

But it might be difficult to get this opportunity.

However, he is the former head of the star field after all, so there must be a handover process, and the two must meet.

That one meeting, perhaps at most a chance to say a word. The space for sliding and kneeling is a bit small, but because of this, he must think carefully.

Consider every word, design every subtle expression...

He has been practicing like this for several months, and now is the time to show it.

After waiting for another day at the star port, he was invited by the guards to the dressing room, put on a beautiful dress, and then stood at the parking berth of the star port with many people waiting.

A huge ship slowly sailed in.

It was the Fire Star, the flagship warship of the Alliance Navy, a battleship.

At the exit where they were waiting, there was a long red carpet.

A fleet of suspended vehicles drove out, and the elite guards got off and controlled the surrounding situation. At the same time, the most distinguished person in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region walked out of the middle courtesy car.

The governor of the alliance, the head of the star region, the marshal of the empire - Gu Hang.

Seeing Gu Hang's rather young face, Tan Jiuyi was a little absent-minded for a moment.

This was the first time he had seen Gu Hang in person. In the past, he had only seen virtual images when he was communicating with him in star language.

He might be only 46 years old this year, right?

For ordinary people, this is probably the prime of life, but it is almost the end of middle age. Even many people with difficult living conditions have become particularly old at this age.

But for Gu Hang, life extension surgery and even his own spiritual power are ways to allow him to have a longer life. There is no problem living to three or five hundred years old.

From this perspective, his life has just begun.

But such a young person has already achieved his current status.

And his own future fate depends entirely on his thoughts.

He was nervous, but he didn't forget what he should do.

After all the senior officials of the alliance met with Marshal Gu and shook hands, it was his turn.

He hurried forward and shook hands with the smiling Gu Hang.

"Marshal Gu..." The friendly smile on Tan Jiuyi's face seemed seamless.

The smile on Gu Hang's face was slightly restrained, and he shook hands with Tan Jiuyi perfunctorily.

Tan Jiuyi wanted to say something else, but he didn't have much chance. Maybe in just one sentence, the next person who wanted to shake hands was already behind him.

He had already prepared the speech in his mind, but when Gu Hang glanced at him, he suddenly felt shocked.

Gu Hang didn't want to listen.

He didn't dare to say it.

As he walked further and further away, he couldn't help but turn his head and take a look.

He was unwilling to give up. How good was it that he had just said it?

But he felt a little fortunate. If he insisted on saying it, it might anger Gu Hang, right?

The complicated mood of gain and loss echoed in his chest.

...

Gu Hang didn't care about Tan Jiuyi's complicated thoughts at all.

What he cared about was everything in front of him.

When he returned to the Dragon Eagle Star Region this time, he was greeted by a complete star region.

This made him happier than any gift. How could he have the heart to listen to the words of someone who was no longer important?

No matter how carefully he prepared, it was meaningless.
